mizuka Daimyo 7 - unmanned hotel -

I paid $288 for three nights and felt completely ripped off. The pictures are misleading, and I would tell people to avoid this place. The hallways were dirty, and the room was worse: very dusty, with awful bedding. The pillow had what looked like mold all over its case, and the blanket smelled strongly of built-up sweat. I couldn't sleep the first night because of the smell. When I asked the next day, the housekeeper quickly brought a fresh blanket. A few days before arriving, I had asked about storing our luggage because check-in wasn't until 4 pm. When we got there, there were no lockers. The hotel contact told me to go back to the train station and use a locker there. That was unacceptable, especially being told to walk to a bus station and then to the train station. Eventually he contacted the housekeeper, who let us leave our bags in the room since the previous guests had already checked out. Don't let the photos fool you. Don't make the same mistake I did.

We stayed three nights and put up with the room's smell since the price was reasonable and the location suited us, but it wasn't pleasant. The location is handy for shopping and there are lots of restaurants nearby. Check-in took quite a while. Our booking reference and name weren't recognized, and there was no record, so we had to contact staff online. They gave us another reference number to finish checking in. It's self check-in.

The location is pretty good, but the price doesn't make sense when better options are available elsewhere. I'd only stay here if there were no other choices. The room was damp and smelly, with condensation on the windows and a lot of mold around them. The hall carpet was filthy, and sound carried a long way. I could hear all my neighbors doing their business.

The location is a 10/10, and the hotel's concept is pretty cool, but they need help with the cleaning. The hallways, elevator, and shared areas were filthy. Our room smelled like stale cigarettes, and dust was everywhere. We all wound up with stuffy noses. It felt like they only did the minimum, changing sheets and towels. We weren't comfortable.
